Layer in the Rainforest

The primary layer which receives maximum sunlight. The leaves has tips that the allow rain water to fell to the soil instead of remaining on leaves .Maximum amount of animals also live in this layer as there is availability of food. Those animals include: snakes, toucans and treefrogs
Forest Floor
Understory
Plants get little sunlight and so the leaves adapt themselves by growing broader leaves to trap more sunlight. Many animals live here including jaguars, red-eyed tree frogs and leopards and a lot of insects.
Emergent
Here, trees grow to a height of 200 feet and trunk of 16 to 20 feet. Trees have broad leaves and they are hard wood trees. Hard wood trees grow here.
It is dark and shady but hot because the sunlight cannot penetrate the deep canopy and emergent layers and so it remains dark. Can increase the speed of decaying plants and form humus.
